Hi all….
I had my weigh in today. My scales read in kilograms, so I try to change to stones and pounds because I understand that better. The converter website I use wasn’t working today so I tried another one. And it turns out all my previous measurements were wrong. I know, because the scale read 66.9kg today. That’s lower than last week, but according to the new converter that equals 10st 7lbs. But this is what it said word for word:
66.9kg = 10.5349st
OR
10st and 7.48lbs
So I have no idea what I used to weigh. I can’t remember what my weight was on the scale at week 0. I actually want to cry. When I thought I had lost weight and I’m actually the “heaviest” I ever thought I’d been. So I must have been like, 11stone. How the hell am I meant to know? So what am I meant to do?
Do I start all over again, knowing that I have this f*ck up behind me, or just say as if I started at 11 stone? What if I was even heavier than that? I suck.
Ugh…. Ok let’s think about this. If 10.5 = 10st 7lbs (I think the other site gave me the decimal value and I misunderstood) that means I was approximately 2lbs out. If I add two pounds to all my other weights they go:
- Week 0 - 10st 9lbs
- Week 1 - 10st 8lbs
- Week 2 - 10st 6lbs
- Week 3 - 10st 8lbs
- Week 4 - 10st 7lbs
So all the progress I thought I’d made, that I was down to 10st 4lbs at one point? Non-existant. I am so disheartened at this point. I could really, really give up. I won’t because I need to lose weight, but this seriously sucks.

Hmmm, that’s well annoying. I just checked on a converter site and 66.9kg came out at 147.2 Ibs. Which is 10st 7.2Ibs.
Have you checked on your scales to see if there is a switch that lets you choose between kg/Ibs/stones and pounds. There usually is one at the back. Sorry if that soundsa bit obvious…
Anyways, you could just take it as a fresh start. Take your start weight as what you got this morning and just concentrate on the future. After all- it doesn’t really matter what you USED to weigh, it’s what you are gonna weigh which matters (and that is gonna be less!
)

August 25, 2008 @ 10:32 amHi again, sorry for leaving loads of comments. I’ve just been looking on amazon at the pilates dvd’s- which one did you get- the pilates workout for dummies, or the pilates WEIGHT LOSS workout for dummies? They are both very cheap though, I might get both… it appears i have lost my yoga dvd. *sigh* i only used to do the first bit of it anyway…
